Paperfolding in the Boy's Own Paper | |||||||
This
page lists articles about paperfolding which appeared,
over the years, in the 'Boy's Own Paper' magazine. BOP 718 of 15th October 1892 contained an article 'How to Make a Cardboard Cube' by John Chesterman Smith. The cube was made by the cardboard modelling technique and I have not recorded the article here.
